Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin AmericaHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis maze is always one of my favorites each year. I think I like it because it’s not based on a specific movie and more of just a general scary haunted maze. This year they scaled up the monsters noticeably and I thought it was extra horrifying! Would definitely recommend!
Jason UniverseHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis one was pretty cool. There was one very unique murder scene that stood out. I liked the summer camp vibe of this maze too.
ScarecrowHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis might have been my favorite maze here this year. I tend to appreciate the more generic, non-movie-based ones more, since they’re just generally trying to be scary. I thought this one was pretty creepy and great!
Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse - CLOSEDHalloween Horror NightsHauntHayrideThe Terror Tram is always my favorite activity at Hollywood Horror Nights! As always, it was a great trip this year, and a fun activity to break up going through the mazes. Would highly recommend!
Five Nights at Freddy'sHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI did 6 out of the 8 haunted mazes here tonight. Of all of them, this was the only one that disappointed me. Perhaps it helps to have seen the movie, which I haven’t, but I honestly haven’t seen most of the movies associated with any of these mazes. They can still be scary and creepy. This one had no jump scares and all the places that might have normally had a jump scares just had a puppeteer operating one of the giant animatronic animals. But they were very much a let down to me because I could see the arms of the person operating the creature, and sometimes I could even see the person dressed in all black sitting on the chair behind the puppets. This took away from them possibly being scary at all. The sets were decent and like I said, maybe if you were just excited to see the scenes from the movie this would be better. But it was a 3-hour wait almost all night. I got in in just a half hour at the very end of the night and I was very grateful I hadn’t waited longer than that.
The Horrors of the Wyatt SicksHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis was the least worthwhile maze we did all night. Luckily, the line was super short and it was basically walk in. I wouldn’t spend time waiting in line for this unless you have done everything else already. But if there’s no wait? Sure, why not walk through.
FalloutHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI thought this maze was great if you like this show. However, I would agree with the other person who said this is more like walking through different scenes from the show, rather than a scary, haunted maze. But that is also what makes Universal mazes a little unique compared to other haunted houses too. So it depends whether you’d appreciate that sort of thing.
Monster StompHowl-O-ScreamHauntOther This was a surprisingly well done musical show that I would recommend making sure you see during your visit.
MisfortuneHowl-O-ScreamHauntOther The actress playing the part for this vignette did a really good job! Just a short little vignette, but good for what it was.
Death Water Bayou [Season 2024] - CLOSEDHowl-O-ScreamHauntHaunted houseHad a couple cool elements to it. Something to build from, but I hope they take it even further in the future to become more on the level of Knott’s Scary Farm or Universal’s Hollywood Horror Nights.
Circus of the DamnedHowl-O-ScreamHauntHaunted houseLoved how effective the special glasses were in this maze! They really made you feel like you were tripping out. If there had been jump scares added in here, it would have taken it to the next level. So much potential, so I just hope they expand this more next year and do even more with it. It was pretty bare bones as it was this year.
Carnival of ChaosHowl-O-ScreamHauntScare zoneI didn’t see a single live scare actor here while I was here waiting for the event to start. Perhaps they added more later in the evening?
Deadly ToysHowl-O-ScreamHauntScare zoneA great idea, but calling this a “scare zone” is inaccurate. They had a really cool creepy doll display set up along the side of the walkway and two actors who stood there and did nothing to interact with you. That was it.
Simon's SlaughterhouseHowl-O-ScreamHauntHaunted houseThe “Simon Says” idea for a horror theme is pretty creepy, so I liked that. Had some of the more effective jump scares with actors in this maze too.
Terrors of the Deep - CLOSEDHowl-O-ScreamHauntScare zoneThey had some very cool actors walking around in old fashioned dive suits, although they weren’t doing anything to scare you. Just walking around to add to the atmosphere. I thought this was a really neat and unique idea for a haunted scare zone theme. One I haven’t seen elsewhere.
Nightmare Experiment [Season 2024] - CLOSEDHowl-O-ScreamHauntHaunted houseThis was my favorite of all the mazes we did because it got jump scared a few times. I hope they continue building on this going forward to bring it up to the level of Knott’s Scary Farm or Universal’s Hollywood Horror Nights.
Area 64: Alien OutbreakHowl-O-ScreamHauntHaunted houseA good idea for a theme, but just needs to be executed even better. No jump scares, barely any actors inside this maze.
Red Moon RevelryHowl-O-ScreamHauntScare zoneNot much to this area, although we did have an actor stop us to interact with him, which was fun.
